It could be all kinds of things;
- you could have a touch of "too much food kept out in room temperature for too long" food illness
- you could have McDougall's Revenge (tummy upset from eating high fat foods after going so long without them)
- you could have Non Dairy Revenge (tummy upset from avoiding dairy then springing a whole lot on your system without warning).
- you could have Bran Revenge (tummy upset that you had massively less fibre than your body is used to)
- you could have the flu
- you could have Mental Revenge (mental gross out from eating what you know your body doesn't need or want, added to a side of "why didn't I do what I believe in instead of what others do"?)
...or a combination of all of them. I know that's what happens to me. I've been veggie long enough to avoid the peer pressure stuff. But I do give in when there is flatly nothing else to eat for more than 8 hours. Never on meat, but sometimes on dairy or eggs.
I find that following the MWLP causes the revenges to kick in harder and faster. It takes my body a full week or more to recover from eating dairy or high fat meals. I tell my husband that I'm eating only broccoli for the next 7 days. I don't really do that, but it's sort of like having a hangover and promising yourself you'll never drink again.
